Well, as soon as it was finished installing I imediatly opened google crome to start my work writing ebooks on political topics. To my dismay, ALL of my reference matirial I had spent months looking for and bookmarking was gone!!
No bookmarks!! I called the service center, they sent out a tech guy to my place again. He told me that he was not sure why they make people install this software because people are unhappy about it usually. He also told me that other people have had the same problem before and that there is nothing they can do about it. This is unacceptable to me!! It has ruined my focus and direction associated with my writing as I now have absolutely no references!!
Please someone tell me this is illegal so i can put a stop to this kind of guided misfortune!! Thank you! Just wanted to thank you for this simple, clear and concise post on downloading! It really helped me to understand this topic.
I really appreciate it! I became instantly addicted with torrent downloading when i first found BitLord. I constantly downloaded discographies and many movies and games. With all of this foolish downloading came the most unexpected consequence: a copyright notice.
When you download via a torrent, your IP number appears in a list of uploaders and downloaders. This list shows up in the torrent program of everyone sharing the files with that torrent. The owner of the copyright or a proxy just has to download that torrent to see the IP numbers of all the people sharing that file. They can determine which ISP you are using to share the file.
They then send those IP numbers to their lawyers who get a court order to get the ISP to tell them who is downloading that file using that IP number. Quite possibly, yes. On charter or any other ISP. Illegal is illegal, regardless of whether or not you get caught. Thank you for writing a tech blog that filled in some blanks re: why my ISP has a hard-on for uTorrent and NOT being completely full of s! Our proudest moment was watching Star Wars Episode I a few weeks before it was in the theaters.
So what if the movie sucked? It saved everyone 10 bucks and it proved that if we wanted something, we could get it. And they did. If machines could get purple hearts, that box has a couple and is quite sick with adware as I write.
I thought the p2p nature of file sharing would obfuscate the origins and destination of each file. I further thought the hashing would make identification of the filename or its contents, source, destination, etc too difficult to crack for an interested 3rd party to look any further into. Again…great blog — will add it to my shortlist of "Blogs that don't suck ," to be published around yrs end. Still the popup??? I think you're above that. Also — consider mentioning that you "consulted for" Microsoft.
Do you really want tech readers, especially software engineers to know that you were on the payroll? The popup timing was coincidental. Should also show up only once every 6 months unless you clear cookies. It was a wonderful experience. Do you think that could be triggering it? Thanks again! Sky my ISP has given my ip information to an internet troll I am now waiting on a letter from them demanding money is this legal. Hi Leo if you get warning from your isp about downloading illegal content and you stop downloading it for a while how can you tell them to remove the warning stars that you get from them.
They should eventually go away. If not, your only option would be to contact your ISP directly by phone or email. I am working on a project and I would like to know if it is possible for ISPs to track only downloads made on their network. If that is possible which applications can be used to achieve this. For months now I have stopped using uTorrent. By cameron , August 11, in General.
My ISP - Suddenlink has shut off my internet connection twice last year for downloading bit-torrents, since then I have subscribed to "Private Internet Access" and continue to download torrents but at a much slower speed. Suddenlink told me that the next time they catch it, they will be forced to disconnect my internet connection for a minimum of 6 months.
I seen a protocol encryption feature in uTorrent and I am wondering if I enable this, and get rid of my slow proxy if I could use all of my connection speed without Suddenlink being able to see my traffic and disconnecting my internet connection. Thats it. They can not even tell what type of traffic it is torrent or otherwise. You might ask "will this make me look like a target to my ISP" hell no.
I had a problem with suddenlink as well. It's a dark time for BitTorrent. A lot of the old methods aren't very useful anymore. Similarly, while your BitTorrent client's encryption can be helpful against throttling, it doesn't always protect you, since some ISPs use more powerful methods of seeing what you're downloading that can get past basic BitTorrent encryption.
These days, the only way to truly keep your downloading anonymous is to take more drastic measures. If you're worried about getting caught downloading illegal materials, use a proxy like BTGuard. It funnels all your BitTorrent traffic through another server, thus keeping your IP address hidden from anyone connecting to your BitTorrent swarm. Even if you're downloading a torrent that's being tracked, they'll see BTGuard's IP, not yours, and BTGuard doesn't keep any logs of their service, meaning they won't trace that IP address back to you.
If you want to keep your traffic from being throttled, you can try enabling encryption in your BitTorrent client. The A. However, not all VPNs are created equal. Free VPNs usually are extremely slow and have inconsistent connections, making them unreliable for downloading large files. A paid VPN offers much better security, and speeds are often close to your actual internet connection plan. If you disconnect from your VPN before you stop the torrent from seeding, your actual IP address may appear on the list of peers.
